Mission: Protect Him At All Cost

chapter kwatro (4)

After that meeting, I went straight to the agency, may sasabihin pa daw si Mr. Eduard. It was lunch time nung dumating ako, walang masyadong tao sa office. Most of the agents are in the cafeteria, I went to my station, finishing some of my work and waited Alex. Few minutes passed, the people came one by one until dumating na si Alex with Warren, Don and unexpectedly Leo.

Leo, isa sa mga competitor ko back when we were trainees. Magaling siya, his moves and actions are strong, matalas at mabilis rin mag-isip at kumilos.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Roberts." Leo greeted.

"Mr. Lincoln." I greeted back.

We rarely talked, but when we have the chance palaging may Ms. and Mr. talaga, we call each other that way.

Nagkainitan kami dati, he always wanted to be number one pero there are times na malalampasan ko siya. I hope that changed today, that he won't see me as a competitor anymore. But I was wrong.

"I'm surprised they'd let a female to do the job, one of the biggest client pa naman natin to. I think it is better for you to stay here and not do some action, baka mailabas lang ang cover, sayang naman." He said, asshole.

"Really Leo? now you're discriminating our gender? let me remind you that the person you're talking to is ONE OF THE BEST agents, not just here in the agency but in the Philippines. I don't think my gender has a problem to that." I emphasized the word 'one of the best' to let him know kung sino ang binabangga niya. Yeah, he is one of the best too, but c'mon.

"Don't be too full of yourself Ms. Roberts, in the end you might disappoint the people around you, including yourself."

"Leo just get the fuck out of here." Don simply said but there was anger on his voice.

"Let me remind you too, I am one of the best." He smirked, he began to leave and went straightly to his station.

"Does he really still see this as a competition?" I asked annoyed. Warren shrugged.

"He's always been like that, Emma. Kahit nung trainees pa lang tayo." Warren said.

"Girl, ignore him you have more important things to do. Iwasan mo nalang siya." Sabi ni Alex as she tapped my back.

"How can I avoid him when kasama natin siya for this mission?" I was still annoyed, 'tong gago nato. I could punch him straight to his arrogant face but I don't wanna cause any riot in the workplace.

"Just leave the guy to me. And besides he's not important. He's a trash. One day, makikita lang talaga niya I'm gonna break his ass." Alex then said.

She's right, Leo is not important ni wala nga syang papel sa buhay ko. So I let it slide.

"Buti at dumaan ka dito." Warren said, eating his sandwich.

"May tataposin lang, by next day aalis na rin ako. Susunod naman kayo diba?" I asked, they all nodded.

We continued to talk pero parang naiinis ako kay Warren na kain ng kain dito sa gilid ko.

"Hindi pa ba tapos yan Warren? I can hear you munching that lettuce." Inis kong sabi.

"Kanina pa yan, pangalawang sandwich na ewan ko diyan kay Warren." Alex then said.

"Edi parehas kayong matakaw, di mo nga ako binigyan ng salad mo, you eat all of it." Don said.

"It is my salad, bumili ka ng sayo." She said then sassily flipped her hair.

"Anyways Alex, may ipapakita ako sayo." I said and opened my phone.

"Huy hindi ako nanonood ng porn." She said half-whispering.

"You watch those kind of videos Villarama? you dirty girl." Warren began to tease her.
